Question on: Microsoft OneNote
Would you recommend OneNote over Notion?
I am an avid user of Notion, but I have kept the usage to myself. I find OneNote much more effective than Notion in terms of sharing, collaboration, and scribbles. Should I permanently switch to OneNote?

It depends on what you want to use it for. Overall:
* I think Notion is better for building unstructured collections of pages that link to each other, share information between themselves and for publishing (small) collections of pages on the Internet. Notion also offers more power with its "database" functionality, which lets you dynamically filter, sort and specify the types of data presented in table.
* OneNote is stronger for integrating with Microsoft products and assembling collections of pages in a more structured format. If your company uses SharePoint, you can control who accesses your OneNote notebook. OneNote is just as strong at linking pages/sections, etc., though the concept isn't as "in your face" as it is with Notion. One significant OneNote advantage is the ability to work off-line; whereas Notion uses a central database in the cloud, requiring constant connectivity.
Possibly most-important, Notion is being **actively developed and enhanced**, whereas OneNote is kind of the "red-headed stepchild" of Microsoft Office, so it doesn't get much love. Any enhancements in new versions (which are infrequent) are minor features. Contrast that with the latest Notion upgrade, which allows you to add grouping (aka control break) to a database/sheet/table, which is very powerful.
I've used OneNote avidly for over a decade, but only found Notion in the past month, but I've gotten to know it pretty well already.

Question on: Notion
Are you planning on adding CRM integrations (even if they're limited)?
I leverage notion to organize my research and findings on companies but the disparate records of SFDC and updating notion makes it time-consuming to manage both. This is mainly important when reviewing accounts, opportunities, and identifying qualitative patterns.
